In syrup for granule. In addition to this,
the throat should be thoroughly sprayed ev-
cry half-hour with ten per cent. solution
Of benzoate of sodium. This should be done
ut regular intervals, day and night, but no
other local treatment need be employed.
Tonnes should be given and antipyretics used
when occasion calls for them. The nourish-
ment should consist of beef juice; tender
meat, milk, etc.. but bread and all other arti.
cles which may cause irritation of the throat
should not be used.
Friday last, 1 made trip to Ironton, and
along the road I observed that the corn
crops are not good. Mr.. A. j. Carly has the
best crop 1 noticed, which will, perhaps,
yield not less than thirty-fi bushels per
acre.
With this exception. I saw no crop that
will yield greater than-I believe will be
safe In saying-6O per cent. of our ordinary
yield. This, with the almost complete fall
ure of last years crop, will make very hard
times on the farmers, and will necessarily
hold the price of corn at not less than so
cents per bushel.
1 noticed that the schools along the road
are all in working order. The school on I'm
boden Fork of Black River is taught by Mr..
Harry Padfeld, who is very intelligent
young man, and has had some experience in
teaching. I was informed by one of the
patrons that Mr.. p. is doing an excellent
work In that district. Farther ON the road
I found Mr.. Thomas Wilson engaged teach
ing the youths of CASTOR district how to
shoot their ideas. Being in a hurry, did
not stop; and having no chance to inquire
relative to the schools progress, 1 can give
nothing as to results.
Reaching Ironton just as the setting sun
had thrown its latest rays over the valley of
Arcadia, was particularly impressed with
its GRANDEUR scene which no artist can
reproduce. Having visited the principal
health resorts of the West, including all the
principal points along the Pacific coast from
San Francisco to San Diego, California, my
memory does not revert to one single place
that excels in beauty the Valley of Arcadia.
The next morning after few purchases
were made, started for home. Being un-
able to reach home that day, found a home
for the night in the family of David Latham,
ESQ.,, Edge Hill. After partahing of an ex
cellent supper, retired for The night. Two
hours drive the next moring brought me
home.
Mrs. T. S. Lopez informed us that she and
her daughter, Miss Henrietta, will in the near
future start for Los Angeles, California.
Having stopped 1T various hotels in Los An
geles, I would commend, to any one who
contemplates visit to that place, the Grand
Central.
Mr.. Emmett Latham informs me that he
and his brother will, when their schools close
in December, attend school at Cross Roads.
Mr.. Marion Anderson, Goodwater, will also
attend the same school. They will do well
to attend; other young men would do well
to attend.
The roads in this district are being cared
for, under the supervision of John Mcmahon,
Esq.
Sunday last the following persons visited
us: Misses Juda and Ellen Mcmahon, Mr..
and Mrs. John Latham and Mr.. and Mrs.
Houston Latham.
Not long ago Mr.. j. S. Jordan, of Aurora
Springs, preached at the church house near
here. The audience was quite small.
I have been reliably informed that DR..
Waller Parker, Sr., will In the near future
locate near here. We welcome you, DR.. p.
understand that Prof. Thomas Callahan
will soon open private school in the family
of Mr.. Bryan, near Belgrade.
Rev. Rily Hawk has purchased q new sew
ing machine.
Reports say that Jasper Andel son, Good
water. has purchased the Turner farm; price
paid. 500. p.
